Although they say powered by google the results are something else.
I tried Keyword "panniers"
10 results returned with this header:
Alexa brings you more results. No Google results found. The following 10 results are from the Alexa index. (what's this)

Click on "what's this" link and you'll see that they provide their own results as a supplement when there are less than 30 Google results for a search.

Google returns 69,500 listings for panniers.
The (whats this) was just part of the header I copied.
I tried 10 different keywords and all they return are Alexa results.

You are absolutely right! I thought yours was just an odd word but I tried a couple that have millions at Google and it is not Google, it's a bunch of junk.
One of mine that I tried that's got about 2 million plus at Google came up with panties, underwear, clothes dryers, books, minnows and mosquito bites. LOL..

Yes, that was what I saw. Whacky stuff at best, but am I nuts or is the list slanted to prop up Amazon type vendors?

The google part appears broken.
amazon and alexa are the same company.
However, amazon is having no problem serving up their combined alexa/google results

These Alexa returns are new to me. Of course I do not think I ever put a search into Alexa that had less than 30 results. So I guess that could be it..
